I like novels in which houses or even dead women ('Rebecca' comes to mind as does a novel I just read 'A Presence in an Empty Room' by Velda Johnston) are characters and where heroes can be complex, handsome or not-- even anti-heroes. Gothic romance novels have these elements and more which appeal to me. I have found such elements lacking in regular romance novels; these seem to simplistic to me. I also think the element of rescue from danger by the hero is appealing...
